How can I stop poplar roots encroaching from my neighbour's garden?


Our Advice:

You may need to dig down several spades depth to find all of the roots pushing into your garden. Cut them off along your boundary line before inserting a barrier of heavy duty plastic or a pond liner. Refill the trench with soil and treat any shoots emerging in your garden with SBK weed killer from Vitax.
